Buy Mineral Spirits D70 in Bulk, Drums & IBCs – REACH Compliant Solvent for Coatings, Industrial Cleaning, and Maintenance Applications
Rotterdam Chemicals Group supplies Mineral Spirits D70, a higher-boiling grade of aliphatic hydrocarbon solvents. With its slower evaporation rate and higher flash point compared to D40 and D60, Mineral Spirits D70 offers excellent performance in coatings, cleaning, and maintenance where extended drying time is preferred. Produced from petroleum distillates and refined to minimize aromatics (≤0.1 wt%), it is trusted for safe handling, consistent performance, and reliable supply. We deliver worldwide from Rotterdam with complete SDS, TDS, and COA documentation.
What is Mineral Spirits D70?
Mineral Spirits D70 (also called ShellSol D70 or Exxsol D70) is a dearomatized white spirit solvent composed primarily of C10–C13 hydrocarbons. It features a higher boiling range (~180–210 °C) and a flash point typically in the range of 60–70 °C. These properties make it well suited for applications requiring slower evaporation, greater safety margins in handling, and reduced VOC emissions compared to lower grades.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How is D70 different from D40 and D60?
D70 has a slower evaporation rate and a higher flash point (~60–70 °C), making it safer to handle and better suited for applications requiring longer drying times.
Is Mineral Spirits D70 flammable?
Yes. It remains classified as a flammable liquid, though its higher flash point provides improved handling safety compared with D40 and D60.
Can Mineral Spirits D70 reduce VOC emissions?
Yes. Its slower evaporation rate can contribute to reduced VOC release in certain applications.
Is it odorless?
No. It is classified as low odor, though a mild solvent scent may still be detectable.
